Best way to mimic a keyboard key

[paul]

Hi,

I am disabled and use larger buttons to use key board funtions, so a button that I push goes through an input device which only has four input sockets. these sockets are fixed values, this box has the numbers 1 to 4.

I program voice attack to map the number, i.e '1', to the control in the game, i.e 'space'.

What is the best way to mimic the space key? At the moment I have;

when I push keyboard key '1';

Code: [Select]

    Start Loop While :  Keyboard Key '1 "' Is Pressed
        Press down Space key
    End Loop
    Release Space key

This works but if it's held down for a long time when I release the button it keeps going for a while. I assume as it's had so many loops to do it has to catch up?

Is there a better way to do it?

Your command is pressing the space key repeatedly, as fast as possible (spamming it).

To hold down the key, move the press out of the loop, like this:

Code: [Select]

Press down Space key
Start Loop While :  Keyboard Key '1 "' Is Pressed
End Loop
Release Space key

Perfect! That makes sense, thanks
